Default RIAA to grieving family: We depose your children in 60 days

RIAA to grieving family: We depose your children in 60 days
The RIAA brought a file-sharing lawsuit against a guy who died; they offered the departed's family a 60-day grieving period before they began to depose his children for the suit against his estate.
Plaintiffs do not believe it appropriate to discuss a resolution of the case with the family so close to Mr. ScantleburyÂ’s passing. Plaintiffs therefore request a stay of 60 days to allow the family additional time to grieve.
In the event the parties do not reach a resolution with Mr. ScantleburyÂ’s estate or the other family members involved, Plaintiffs anticipate amending the complaint following depositions of members of Mr. ScantleburyÂ’s family.

what kinda BS is this... how can they sue a person who cant defend themselfs?

RIAA is the new "Gestapo"

State sponsored terrorism IMO.

This and other tactics they use are not looking for "Justice" they are only looking to penalize people.

There are a lot of other higher priority crimes going on that do not get this much attention, but those do not generate income.

I wished I lived in another country sometimes, Canada is looking pretty damn good these days...

Do you have the right the Bare Arms and Arm Bears? What about Freedom of Speech? Can I protest something if I dont like it? What about the right to vote?

I believe their "right to vote" extends to all men and women over the age of 18, am I missing something?

I'm still confused...

Of course we can vote (after 18), and as far as freedom of speech goes, the largest anti-war demonstration ever took place here. Additionally, we're more liberal generally, being a less religious country with a less right-wing administration.

Well I thought your comment was because you thought I was being anti-Uk.

RIAA's "abundance of sensitivity" ends harassment of grieving family
Last week, we posted about the family of a recently deceased defendant in a lawsuit by the RIAA being given 60 days to grieve before the RIAA went on to depose the dead man's children in a renewed suit against his estate. In the intervening days, the publicity about this despicable act -- suing the family of a dead man -- has mounted. Today, an RIAA spokesperson, Jonathan Lamy, contacted me today with this statement:
Our hearts go out to the Scantleberry family for their loss. We had decided to temporarily suspend the productive settlement discussions we were having with the family. Mr. Scantleberry had admitted that the infringer was his stepson, and we were in the process settling with him shortly before his passing. Out of an abundance of sensitivity, we have elected to drop this particular case.
I wrote back to ask him this followup question:
Where was the "abundance of sensitivity" when the RIAA failed to initially drop its case against the Scantleberry family following the death of the named defendant in the case? Given that this "abundance" only materialized within 24 hours of this story hitting several large news outlets and blogs isn't it fair to say that the RIAA is demonstrating sensitivity to its public image, and not its sensitivity to the Scantleberry family?
To which he declined to further comment. This is par for the course with the RIAA. A year ago, the RIAA contacted me to say that a takedown notice sent on their behalf to RPG Films was a forgery. When I asked if they intended to sue RPG Films for real, and whether these forgeries were common, and whether the RIAA would investigate the forgery, RIAA Director of Communications Jenni Engebretsen promised me she'd get back to me with answers. After repeated emails and phone calls, I finally took the extraordinary step of calling her from a different, borrowed phone (suspecting that she was ducking my calls) and reached her -- only to be told that the RIAA had no further comment.
The RIAA's approach to PR is much like their approach to culture in general: read-only. The RIAA issues statements like the Pope emitting a bull, and we mortals may squabble over its meaning among ourselves, but they are not available to participate in any further discussion. This is reminiscent of the RIAA's approach to things like YouTube lipsynch videos: "our songs are released to be listened to and nothing more; should you dare to make them part of your life, we will use the copyright law we bought to break you."
